Down in your <schemaSpec> you add:
@include = no new elements on update, only changes to those included
@except = new elements on update
Element Specifications
New! From TEI Simple
Changing Attributes
Add New Element <specialName>
Pure ODD!
No Relax NG!
You can have as many sets of <alternate> and <sequence>, and sequences of alternates by nesting, as you wish!
Combination of @minOccurs and @maxOccurs on:
- the <alternate> and <sequence> containers
- the <elementRef> and <classRef> elements
enables the production of highly complex content models.
(Some of which may not be able to be expressed in current schema languages.)
Summary
- Use your ODD for documentation
- Embed specifications in your prose
- <elementSpec>: gloss, desc, classes, constraintSpec, model, exemplum, remarks
- Record your intended processing model(s)
- You should be modifying attribute <valList> elements
- Delete classes, use the class system
- Add new elements (in diff namespace)
- ODD is now purified of Relax NG:
- <textNode>, <elementRef>, <classRef>, <macroRef>
- <alternate>, <sequence>
- @minOccurs, @maxOccurs, @context
